Boundary Bound States in Affine Toda Field Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate that the generalization of the Coleman-Thun mechanism may be applied to the situation, when considering scattering processes in 1+1-dimensions in the presence of reflecting boundaries. For affine Toda field theories we find that the binding energies of the bound states are always half the sum over a set of masses having the same colour with respect to the bicolouration of the Dynkin diagram. For the case of E6E_6-affine Toda field theory we compute explicitly the spectrum of all higher boundary bound states. The complete set of states constitutes a closed bootstrap.
